I would make an educated guess and say that it would be harder on the engine also. Actually, raising ANY vehicle makes the vehicle accelerate slightly slower. puts a small amount of additional stress on the engine, in addition to increasing the chance of brake skid and a rollover. That's why for a given engine output a lower sports car-type height gives BOTH better acceleration AND better handling. The center of MASS of a vehicle is very important and lower is better. Even in wrestling.
